Now we learn Isis wants to kill HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. Obama didn’t bother to fight them seriously. By L. Todd Wood - - Monday, September 28, 2015
Nuclear annihilation across the globe. This is what a German reporter who successfully embedded with the Islamic State says the terror group is planning. Jurgen Todenhofer released his findings in a book titled “Inside IS - Ten Days in the Islamic State,” reports the UK’s Daily Express. “The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,” says Todenhofer, calling the group a “nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.”

The Obama administration allowed 1,519
terror-stained foreign refugees into the U.S. last year because their crimes
were allegedly committed “while under duress.

209. By allowing Russia to invade Syria to help Assad and doing
nothing about it, Obama is facilitating the evil axis of Iran, Syria, Russia to
gain even more power in region

Tuesday, September 29, 2015

The latest. The U.S. is not just being defeated in Iraq and Syria. It is being humiliated...On Sunday, the administration was taken by surprise for the umpteenth time when Russia, Iraq, Iran, and Syria announced an agreement, ostensibly to share intelligence about ISIS.This is part of a widening role for Russia in the region, Moscow having already established a new airbase to go along with its existing naval base in Syria. It is also a sign that Iraq is getting pulled further into the Russia-Syria-Iran axis — a new Axis of Evil — that is far more determined to keep Bashar Assad’s murderous regime in power than it is to fight ISIS

d. Obama
PRETENDS to fight ISIS. Do you notice how no more Jordanian pilots have been
burnt alive by isis since the King responded so strongly. That is how we
SHOULD be fighting. Israel cold finish them off in a couple of weeks. Obama?
Just pretending. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/crippling-contradiction-obamas-isis-strategy-180238616.html OBAMA
CREATED ISIS http://rickwells.us/former-dia-director-gen-flynn-says-obama-created-isis-supposedly-to-overthrow-syrian-government/

e. Obama
says Islamic terror has nothing to do with Islam. Nothing ever more
ludicrous has been uttered. Obama/the left’s BIGGEST/MOST DANGEROUS
LIE? Islam is a peaceful religion. Next time someone idiot tells you that you
are Islamiphobic or that Islam is peaceful, ask them what percent of
Muslims support ISIS. Answer 81% by Arab poll. http://www.commdiginews.com/featured/al-jazeera-poll-suggests-81-of-arab-muslims-support-isis-42253/A
phobia, by definition, must be irrational. Fearing Islam is very rational.

2. Muslims Massacring
Christians throughout Middle East. Only safe place for them, Israel. Obama
could care less, takes in a million Muslims, virtually no oppressed Christians.

3. BDS anti-Israel college
effort is terrorist organized and funded

4. Islam was evil
from its origin. It is a LIE to say violent Muslims are a tiny subset of
Muslims. TRUTH: 81% Muslims SUPPORT ISIS. Toll of Muslim murder. Toll
of dead? 590 million 26,000 Islamic terrorist events since 9-There is no
such thing as islamophobia because phobias are irrational and there is
nothing irrational about fear and hatred Islam.

5. Can never believe
anything a Muslim says. Their religion advocates lying.

6. Palestinians
leaders are barbaric terrorists with whom no one can make peace. How can
any decent person think peace with Palestinians is possible?

7. Massive Muslim
immigration to Europe was predicted and planned by isis in February.8.
Muslims say they will make it legal to rape white women
when they take over Europe9. Mohammed was a refugee, saved by Jews in Medina in 622 and within 5 years had killed. forced conversions or or driven out every Jew.see articles to support the above

The failed foreign policies of the EU and the US under President Obama, have brought the Arabs to the brink of chaos, and destroyed regimes which, even though they were not democratic utopias, at least provided governance and public order. These failed policies have abandoned the Arabs to the atrocities of the Sunni Islamists and to the murderous proxies of the Iranian Islamic Revolution -- and are ultimately the cause of the tsunami of refugees beating at the gates of Europe.

Now the EU and Obama want to bring the catastrophe of Gaza to the West Bank.

The American FDA is more careful with experiments on animals than the White House is with experiments on the people of the Middle East.

Every time the Palestinians have taken steps against the Israelis, we have hurt no one but ourselves, and are left with -- nothing.

The Arabs living in Israel and the Palestinian Authority territories know, although it is a bitter pill to swallow, that we have been favored by fortune, because under the State of Israel we live in security.

In the face of ongoing mass murder in the Middle East, what arcane consideration, apart from Federica Mogherini being a racist, could possibly bring the EU to deal with something as marginal to global issues as boycotting Israeli face-cream and cookies?

With the anniversary of Al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, internal Palestinian discourse revolves around radical Islam and America's actions. It relates to the slaughter, rape and millions of refugees who have fallen victim to Al-Qaeda, humanitarian calamity of and the Islamist terrorist organizations to which it gave birth, such as ISIS. Today an apocalyptic proportions is unfolding in territories that used to be Arab states but are now the battle grounds for feuding Arab tribes, whose only objective is to destroy one another.
